No trip to visit my Granny Williams would be complete without leaving with a tin of these fudgy chocolate bars. In our house, they are the go-to recipe to cure the 8pm munchies when there is no chocolate to be found in the house (because, hello? I live there!). You most probably already have all the ingredients in your cupboard, and they only take 10 minutes to knock up. I’ve used my own cocoa powder in these as it is darker and richer than the kind you get in the shops – it’s also sustainably sourced which is a big deal for me. Click here to shop my range now – and add some baking chocolate too, for next time 😉

Ingredients
- 125g salted butter, cubed
- ½ cup (125ml) milk
- 400g (2 cups) white granulated sugar
- 35g (80ml) cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 270g (3 cups) instant oats
- 40g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Line a 20x20cm baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
- Place the butter, milk, sugar and cocoa powder into a medium-sized saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Bring the syrup to the boil (do not stir) for 3-5 minutes or until the syrup reaches soft ball stage – drop a small amount of the syrup into a cup of tap water, it should immediately form a soft ball and come together.
- Remove the syrup from the heat and immediately add the vanilla, oats and coconut.
- Working quickly, pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread out using the back of the spoon.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes then slice into bars.
Notes
- TIP: These also make fantastic clusters! Working quickly use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the mixture and dollop onto a lined baking tray.

Hi was wondering whether it would still work if I reduced the amount of sugar in these?
Hi Jane, I haven’t tried it but there’s a risk they might not set as the structure of these is predominantly sugar. Sorry, but these are definitely a treat!
